MetaPlanet Secures Fresh $130M to Buy More Bitcoin and Expand BTC Operations

• Metaplanet gets $130 million in a new loan, using its Bitcoin holdings as collateral to fund future BTC purchases.
• Institutions continue adopting Bitcoin into their operations despite recent price volatility.

Metaplanet Inc. announced it has secured a fresh $130 million loan. The company plans to use this fund, secured under its credit facility, to buy more Bitcoin (BTC) and expand its operations. Crypto news platform Wu Blockchain highlighted the development in a post on X. According to the details, Metaplanet secured the $130 million loan using its Bitcoin holdings as collateral.

Crucially, the $130 million loan is part of a larger $500 million revolving credit facility. Metaplanet has already drawn $230 million, leaving $140 million available for future use. These facilities were established in 2025 to provide flexible, low-cost capital without forcing the company to sell its Bitcoin.

The primary goal of the loan is to buy more BTC, further increasing Metaplanet’s treasury. The company usually adds to its Bitcoin stash during price dips as it bets on long-term Bitcoin appreciation.

Metaplanet also plans to use the loan to expand Bitcoin-based revenue operations and repurchase shares when market conditions are favorable. This is expected to boost shareholder value by reducing the number of shares outstanding.

Currently, Metaplanet holds 30,823 BTC, valued at approximately $2.69 billion. This calculation is based on the current Bitcoin price of around $87,432. Even in a severe market downturn, the total BTC holdings would still cover the loan requirements. This conservative approach allows the company to leverage its assets without overexposing itself.

A Spike in Bitcoin Institutional Adoption

This year has witnessed an increase in Bitcoin adoption by institutional players. In the U.S., 12 states invested $330 million in Strategy stock. As previously mentioned in our report, the states gained indirect Bitcoin exposure through pension funds like CalSTRS & CalPERS. This move reflects increasing institutional interest in Bitcoin-backed assets as states capitalize on the long-term growth potential of the coin.

In another bold move, Clearstream, a Deutsche Börse subsidiary, disclosed plans to integrate BTC into Europe’s financial ecosystem. To do this, Clearstream would offer secure and regulated custody solutions, as detailed in our last news piece.

Analysts even forecast that BTC could hit a potential valuation of $20 trillion, mirroring the institutional rally in gold. In October, gold hit a new all-time high, climbing above $3,940, with institutional purchases serving as the main catalyst. Analysts suggest that Bitcoin could be next in line to experience such growth and surpass its $2.48 trillion market cap at the time.
